Dear Madam:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, R.3948, it appears that James Gatewood enlisted in Gloucester County, Virginia, in 1780, and served four months as a private in Colonel Rone's(?) Virginia Regiment.
He applied for pension March 14, 1851, at which time he was a resident of Washington County, Kentucky, and was aged eighty-seven years. His claim was not allowed as he did not render six months service as was required by the Act of June 7, 1832 under which he applied.
There are no data concerning his family.
Very truly yours
E. W. MORGAN Acting Commissioner.

Only for envelope
About two months ago our Registrar wrote for a copy of a pension issued to James Gatewood of Virginia during the Revolutionary War, but has received no reply.
We know such a pension exists since another member of the family had a copy but she moved away & we do not know her name & so if you could in any way assist us, we should be so grateful for an early reply.
Very Truly yours,
